Anderson Cooper, the CNN celebrity journalist who visited San Diego during the 2007 firestorm, on Monday confirmed what many suspected: “The fact is, I’m gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud,” Cooper wrote columnist Andrew Sullivan. In San Diego—with openly gay politicians like mayor candidate Carl DeMaio, District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis and state Sen. Christine Kehoe—this isn’t exceptional news. But does it signal new acceptance by American society?

CNN newsman, confirming his homosexuality, is latest public figure to share private detail of life.
If a therapy, genetic or otherwise, was developed which could change a person's sexuality do you think there would be a stampede to the source? Do you think there would be more people changing to a heterosexual orientation than those wanting to become homosexual? Is "pride" a noun used when there is no hope? Is "macho" used when there is no hope?
what you have is YOUR interpretation of the bible..and it doesn't agree with mine.. therefore, i'll stick with my interpretation, and you can have yours.. just quit trying to force YOUR interpretation on me..i'm not at all interested.. doug
it's just that, over the years, i had to deal with WAY more self-righteous fundamentalist know-it-alls than anyone should have to.. they just sorta set my teeth on edge, you know
I do have the right to question, and that's all I've done. I'm intrigued, Jimmy, does beer help you to believe?

You hypocrites get so confused when you fail at your "It's genetic" argument.
Do you think homosexuality is genetic? Do you think pedophilia is genetic? If you answer yes to one and no to the other, will you please tell me how you made your distinction? Be careful to not make the distinction on morals, but if you do please link the moral rulebook you are using.
I don't even know why I bother. It's not like you try to make an honest attempt to look at things from a different point of view. You are more interested in trying to generate controversy and I'm the sucker that keeps rising to bait. I'm done with it.
Maybe your genetics left you weak in the ability to give an honest answer. Or maybe you don't want to go on the record with a truth you already know. You have chickened out either way.
